“Ederson is No.1 and Stefan is No.2” – Guardiola Calls Ederson No.1 Goalkeeper in ManCity
Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has firmly stated that Ederson is still his top-choice goalkeeper despite being dropped for the team’s recent 2-0 defeat against Liverpool at Anfield.
In that match, Guardiola opted for Stefan Ortega Moreno to take the spot in goal, a decision that sparked a bit of discussion among fans and analysts.
However, ahead of City’s upcoming Premier League fixture against Nottingham Forest, Guardiola was quick to reaffirm Ederson’s position as the first-choice goalkeeper.
He explained that while Ortega’s performance may lead to continued appearances in future matches, Ederson remains the primary option.
Guardiola mentioned that Ederson took the decision in stride and responded positively to being left out of the starting XI for the Liverpool game.
Guardiola, who has worked closely with Ederson for many years, mentioned their strong relationship, saying, “We’ve known each other for eight or nine years.”
This long-standing connection between the two reflects the trust and understanding that has been built over time.
Despite the change, Guardiola made it clear that Ederson’s commitment to the team and his reaction to the situation only reinforced his importance within the squad.
Footballer Lamine Yamal speaks on the Ballon d’Or award and shares how he will still be happy if his teammate, Pau Cubarsí, gets the award.
“Last year, for me, Cubarsí was the best young player in the world. Either the Kopa award or the Ballon d’Or should go to him. There’s no difference between us.
“When I won it, I told him that he would be next. If he doesn’t win it for whatever reason, I will give it to him.”
Popular footballer Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on retirement and shares how he actually thought of retiring from international football after the 2026 World Cup.
“I thought about retiring from international football after the World Cup, but I spoke to the president, coach, and I am still here. I am an asset, I can help.”
He adds, “The young kids love me because they see me as an example, and that, for me, is the most important thing. I will continue to do that even when I retire after 10 years.”
Footballer Kylian Mbappé shares that he actually came close to signing with Liverpool.
“I was close to Liverpool. My mum was a big fan of Jurgen Klopp, and the favourite destination for my mum was Liverpool. She wanted me to go there,” Mbappé told The Athletic.
“I didn’t listen because I wanted to play in my city, Paris. I didn’t want to leave my country before I was someone. But yes, my mum was always saying, ‘Liverpool — you’re going to be there, playing at Anfield, it’s going to be insane for you.’ I was like, ‘OK!’
“All the time we were talking. ‘What do you think, Mum?’ She’d say, ‘For me, you have to go to Liverpool.’ I said, ‘OK, OK, OK!’ because Jurgen Klopp was an amazing manager. I met him and had a wonderful relationship with him. I had big respect for him.”
